Wie immer sehr empfehlenswert: Erica Zingers Kolumne auf @tazgetroete - diesmal über die antisemitischen Demonstrationen an der Columbia University. Tröstet ein bisserl hinweg, über das, was man in der taz sonst zum Thema manchmal lesen muss…

For months World Central Kitchen leadership censored material coming out of its Gaza operation and refused to honor staff concerns about our work there. They are finally taking a stand after personnel were killed but it is much too late.

@mondoweiss That is so disappointing. But, it's all of a piece with the world's initial reaction to the events that were reported to have happened on October 7, 23. Knowing how much was fabricated by Israeli Government, has not prevented the Genocide.😣 @palestine @israel

" is no more or less righteous than any other institution that has overreacted and created this security theater for political positioning and self-protection...

But given the many ways our University has failed our students around the very question of security, we find it especially insulting that our administration activated the police force against its own community in the name of “safety.”"

@inquiline Oh, I don't think so. Where is the ideology of supporting an Apartheid 'rogue' state, which kills, destroys property, and steals land, endorsed by decent people? Israel is a fascist country, ruled by Genocidal Maniacs. Those who support the Zionists (even with investment), are committing . That's fact. Not antisemitism. Not dog-whistling.

I googled “autism and traumatic brain injury” hoping to find something about living with both at the same time.

ALL the results were studies done to see if TBIs cause autism. 😒

Not one article, reddit post, quora post, was about living with both. Ugh.

@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@ashleyspencer So, they are still frantically attempting to find a 'cure' for autism, or how to prevent it from developing? Money that would be better spent in researching ways to accommodate what can't be 'cured', and should be understood.🙄 @ScruffyDux @actuallyautistic

@ashleyspencer People like her drove me off Facebook. Irrational, abusive stickybeaks. Can't mind their own business. Social Media has given the mean, nasty creatures a place to vent their unreasonable fury at everyone, without fear of physical repercussions. And Farcebook/Meta rewards the bullies. @ScruffyDux @actuallyautistic

@ScruffyDux Last year, someone created a furor on the actually autistic hashtag, saying that anyone over 30 something couldn't possibly be autistic, because autistics don't live that long. It was very distressing. They were formally dxed, as a child. If this is what ABA does to young Autists, it is evil. @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic

Tooden,
@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@ashleyspencer Yes. Brainwashing is inherently evil, and does irreparable harm.😣 @ScruffyDux @actuallyautistic

@pathfinder I think fear also drives 'gatekeeping'. You can't be this 'because', or that 'because', is probably internalised ableism, and the cliquiness of allistic behaviour. The I-won't-let-you-join-my-club kind of thing.
Also, there is no rule that Autists have to like each other, or agree 100% of the time. @ScruffyDux @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic

Just watched the Autism From The Inside video about the SciShow episode.

Really great response video IMO. I've sent it as a reply to the We're Here email list too in the hopes it does make its way to the SciShow team and folks are listened to.

Video is here:

Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.

It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.

Hmm is this an ND thing?

Ever since I can remember, I have strongly disliked pranks and have been against humor at the expense of someone else (making fun of them).

I know nice NT people also feel this way but I've felt this strongly since a very young age. Anyone else?

@actuallyautistic

Tooden,
@Tooden@aus.social avatar

@dyani It probably is. Our humour tends to be less pratfall, and more pun. I've always seen practical jokes as unfunny. Humour directed at ethnic groups was funnier when it was a person from that nationality poking fun at themselves. (Dave Allen, Stan Freberg, et al.)
For myself, I can laugh at people reaping the result of their own idiotic actions, as long as they don't hurt anyone else.
Funniest Home Videos lost their audience, when it was children being distressed or embarrassed by pranks. Cruelty is only funny to monsters. @actuallyautistic

@perkinsy I am sorry to say I found the story amusing in more than one way.
A. It's a Sistema container. They are pretty secure.
B. It's a baby brown. It's like a one-shot pistol.
C. If authorities don't inform people that they don't need the snake for identity purposes...

@JeremyMallin@autistics.life avatar

I originally thought the hashtag ActuallyAutistic was specifically that in part because many of us (as I do) overuse the word "actually".—I learned a long time ago its true origin and meaning though.

I was curious (and still am) what other words we tend to overuse. For me I've come up with these so far:

• actually
• indeed
• fascinating
• interesting

Are there any other common ones?

I use Uber, but I'd be happy to pay more if its drivers were better paid. Also I don’t see it as a substitute for public transport, more a backstop.
